Based on the indication that a huge IT company called GAFA has strengthened its monopoly power, the government will also hold a first meeting of the ministers and experts within the week to ensure transparency of transactions and protect personal information, etc. We are going to start a discussion on the development of rules for the digital market.
It has been pointed out that a huge IT company called GAFA has gathered a huge amount of data and is strengthening its monopoly power in the digital market. Opinions are coming out.
Under these circumstances, the government has set up a new “Digital Market Competition Conference” consisting of cabinet secretaries and experts, and will hold its first meeting within the week.
At the conference, in order to ensure the transparency and fairness of transactions in the digital market, discussions aimed at developing rules were made, such as preventing companies from unilaterally imposing services and costs on users. I am going to start.
The government is also considering measures to protect personal information, such as the introduction of a mechanism that allows users to ask their companies to stop using personal data. The policy is to submit the necessary bill to the regular Diet next year.
